It's a sauce based on tomatoes. It's tomato sauce.
Is relish "pickle sauce"? Is mayonnaise "egg sauce"? It's a condiment. Big difference.
Tomato sauce, brown sauce, fruity sauce... all good.
Also, tomato sauce used in spaghetti and the like can also be used as tomato sauce for fish'n'chips and the like. I don't know if you've ever done this, but the two sauces are surprisingly interchangeable - although sometimes the condiment can be a bit too sweet, but hey, apparently some people like that kind of thing. But tomato pasta sauces definitely work well as a condiment, and the sauce that I used to get in NZ was quite similar to what others might refer to as a pasta sauce, it was very thick and not as sweet. Loooooovely, though.
The condiments in the UK might be easier to switch out - I noticed your ketchup there was considerably different and less sweet than American ketchup
It just would not work in the US. Or rather, it just would not work for me. They have the same basic substance, but are different enough that I would never, ever dip fries into a can of tomato sauce or, god forbid, a can or marinara sauce.
And I would never make spaghetti with smurfing ketchup. xD
Most spaghetti sauce you get in spaghetti tins is basically more "watered down ketchup" than "tomato sauce". >_> But no, I wouldn't either. I would, however, totally put tomato pasta sauce on pretty much anything I'd put the tomato sauce condiment on.
Yeah, this is the key. I'd dip fries in marinara sauce...it'd be odd, but would taste great. But if you put (American) ketchup on pasta, you end up here, getting laughed at by Bobby Flay... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst_Cooks_in_America
I would never have the tomato sauce we are discussing here with pasta. ._.
I'd never put this sort of tomato sauce with my pasta - I make my own pasta sauce with considerable less sugar and considerably more tomato. I'd dip chips - fries - in my pasta sauce though, for sure. Yum!
But I'm calling it tomato sauce because here it is called tomato sauce, as you can see on the photo I posted earlier.
I think the world would be a better place with less ketchup. Just replace every ketchup bottle in the world with good ol' tomato pasta sauce.
That's too thick for certain purposes
Inb4 that's what she said
